1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) has significant psychological consequences, yet no research has examined the relationship between IPSV and moral injury-a distinct form of bio-psycho-social-spiritual distress. This study explored IPSV, moral injury, religious and spiritual struggles (R/SS), purity culture beliefs (PCB), and psychological distress among Christian women in the USA (N = 210). Results revealed significant relationships between study variables. While the gender roles subscale of PCB moderated the link between IPSV and R/SS, the shame and guilt subscale did not. Further, R/SS significantly mediated the association between IPSV and moral injury, and moral injury (self- and other-directed) mediated the relationship between IPSV and psychological distress. These findings underscore the need for interventions to address the moral and spiritual dimensions of IPSV.
